The body is made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, finished mirror, brushed or painted, and built to any size on request. The listed production time is 25 to 30 days, with transport taking 15 to 20 days after that.

Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- Hollow construction keeps weight low even at large sizes, simplifying foundation design
- 304 for general outdoor use or 316 where exposure to salt or moisture is expected
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied to the same shell, so the surface matches the design intent
- Custom size as standard, not a special order, with no fixed catalogue dimensions
- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam protection ensures the surface survives transit
- Production and transport timeline is stated clearly, allowing for planning around site completion
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A private garden where a single sculptural object defines a focal point without blocking views
- A public courtyard that needs a contemporary, low-maintenance feature for year-round display
- A hotel garden entrance where the sculpture reflects the sky and surrounding architecture
- A residential complex courtyard with limited space but a need for a striking visual element
- An urban park where the sculpture stands in a paved or grassed area and interacts with changing light
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects designing a modern garden with a sculptural anchor
- Property developers commissioning a durable, low-maintenance feature for a residential or commercial garden
- Hotel and resort designers placing a reflective object in a garden or courtyard
- Art consultants sourcing a contemporary metal sculpture for a private or public garden
- Garden designers needing a custom form that fits a specific planting or paving layout
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- A garden that lacks a visual anchor despite having space for one
- A site that needs a modern-looking sculpture but has no standard size that fits
- A commission based on a photo or sketch with no technical drawing available
- A need for a long-lasting outdoor sculpture that won’t rust or degrade quickly
- A project where the installation date is fixed and the lead time must be known in advance
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from plate over a mould, with two hemispheres welded together
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on environmental exposure
- Surface finish applied after welding—mirror, brushed or painted—on the same shell
- Custom diameter and shape possible, with no standard sizes in the catalogue
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in non-coastal or low-salt environments
- 316 stainless steel for sites exposed to coastal air, road salt, or high humidity
- Mirror polish for strong reflection and visual impact in open spaces
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor handling marks
- Painting where the design requires colour rather than reflective surface
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the garden or space, including form, scale and finish
- Small model created and scaled up, with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the shell
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell thickness
- Surface polished mirror, brushed or sprayed after welding
- Welded assembly and installation detail worked out on site, with joint finished in place
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Weld between hemispheres is ground and polished to be invisible on the final surface
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment is part of the published method
- Inner plastic or foam protection inside the wooden crate prevents surface damage during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size and shape on request, with no fixed dimensions in the catalogue
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied to the same shell
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on site exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the garden or site conditions
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless holds its finish permanently, reducing long-term maintenance |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance over time; this piece is chosen for a clean, reflective surface that does not change |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze is heavier and more expensive; it develops a patina over time, while this piece maintains its original finish |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not a standard size from a catalogue
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect—sky, trees, or building lines
- Ensure the base and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the garden is near the coast or exposed to winter de-icing salts
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
